Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography are limited by conventional
frame rates. Ultrafast ultrasound imaging is able to capture images at frame rates up to 100 …

Cardiac function and vascular function are closely related to the flow of blood within. The
flow velocities in these larger cavities easily reach 1 m/s, and generally complex …

Background Flow properties play an important role in cardiac function, remodeling, and
morphogenesis but cannot be displayed in detail with today's echocardiographic …

Ultrafast Doppler has been accepted as a novel modality for small vasculature imaging with
high sensitivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, and high penetration. However, the …

This study examines the feasibility of blood speckle tracking for vector flow imaging in
healthy adults and describes the physiologic flow pattern and vortex formation in relation to …

Left ventricular (LV) blood flow is an inherently complex time-varying 3-D phenomenon,
where 2-D quantification often ignores the effect of out-of-plane motion. In this study, we …

Using blood speckle tracking (BST) based on high-frame-rate echocardiography (HFRE), we
compared right ventricle (RV) flow dynamics in children with atrial septal defects (ASDs) and …

Background The lack of reliable echocardiographic techniques to assess diastolic function
in children is a major clinical limitation. Our aim was to develop and validate the …

Major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with (regional) dysfunction of the left
ventricle. Despite the 3-D nature of the heart and its dynamics, the assessment of myocardial …

Tensor velocity imaging (TVI) performance with a row–column probe was assessed for
constant flow in a straight vessel phantom and pulsatile flow in a carotid artery phantom. TVI …
